President Bola Tinubu has introduced a Personal Income Tax Calculator, a digital too said to have been designed to aid Nigerians on tax matters by clarifying how the 2026 tax reforms will affect their finances.

Unveiled on Friday, Tinubu was quoted as saying that the calculator aims to demystify the new tax regime, offering transparency and fostering trust in the government’s fiscal policies.

In a post on his official X account, Tinubu said the calculator allows citizens to compare their estimated tax under the proposed reforms with current rates, and ensure a clear understanding of the impact on individual incomes.

He said: “A fair tax system must never punish poverty or weigh down the most vulnerable.

“With the new tax laws I recently signed, taking effect from January 2026, we have lifted this burden and created a path of equity, fairness, and true redistribution in our economy.

“A Personal Income Tax Calculator has been developed. It allows you to check your estimated tax under the new laws against what you currently pay.

“It shows clearly how these reforms protect low-income earners, ensure progressivity, and simplify compliance to deliver a transparent system that works for all.

“Together, we are renewing hope in the Nigeria of our dreams.

“Take a bet on our country. Bet on Nigeria to work for you, your family, and your community.”
